The baby-making system is unreliable
Chapter 160: The Blind and Idiot Imperial Teacher vs. the Calm and Generous Empress (12)
As soon as these words fell, the atmosphere in the entire palace suddenly became solemn, as if an invisible pressure was spreading, making it almost hard to breathe.
The faces of the Wu family father and son suddenly darkened, and they secretly thought of countermeasures in their hearts. Although they always believed that they acted carefully and would not leave any obvious flaws.
However, she spoke with such confidence that they couldn't help but wonder: Did she really have some unknown evidence? How much inside information did she know?
Wu Zhesi pretended to be calm and responded: "We... naturally know nothing about this matter, but the most urgent task now is to distinguish what is true and what is false!!"
As he spoke, he was secretly calculating in his mind that if the matter was eventually exposed, then all the court officials involved in the matter would be held to blame, and everyone would be held responsible for negligence. In this way, the responsibility would not fall on just their family.
Hearing this, Mo Liu was immediately furious, pointing at the woman and shouting, "You... stop talking nonsense! The Queen Mother will make the final decision on who is real and who is fake, so why should you interfere?!"
At this moment, they heard a loud noise. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the "Queen Mother" had hurried to the scene just a moment later.
“Who is questioning the authenticity of my son?!” The Queen Mother came over calmly, and when she saw the coffin, she seemed to be frightened. She hurriedly walked closer and opened it, saying with disdain: “You, what are you doing? Imperial Master, why did you find someone who looks like me, and... is still in the coffin!!”
Of course she would not admit it. She denied it vehemently, maintained a questioning attitude, and turned back to bite the Emperor and the Master, confirming their crime of disrespect.
"Minister Liang, I have a letter written by the Queen Mother as evidence. It clearly records the various schemes that Wu Taiwei's family has been planning for the past twenty years, especially the scheme of replacing the pillars with the beams, which is recorded in detail."
Wen Shengxian spoke calmly. Han Zhi behind him handed the so-called handwritten letter from the Queen Mother to Liang Songqing at the side slowly and said softly, "Sir Liang, please help us to identify the authenticity of this letter."
At this moment, the empress dowager, who was originally sitting on a high seat, stood up suddenly, and her face instantly became extremely ugly.
She was seen with her eyes wide open, pointing her finger downwards and shouting, "How dare you! I have never written such a letter. Imperial Master, what is your intention? Why are you wronging me like this!?"
The Queen Mother's voice was filled with anger and unwillingness. The entire court was shocked by her aura, as if as long as the voice was loud enough, there was nothing wrong.
But Wen Shengxian was not moved at all. He still stood there quietly, with even a barely perceptible smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Emperor Master!" Wu Zhesi also frowned and thought for a moment, then lowered his voice and said in front of him: "Since the Emperor Master has an eye disease, why not go home to visit his family? Why bother to get involved!?"
Han Chao: "The Imperial Master, please don't forge the Empress Dowager's handwriting and make up nonsense."
Zuo Ye: "The crime of slandering Her Majesty the Queen Mother is not a small one. Can the Wen family bear the responsibility?!"
Liang Moyu: "What a joke! When something like this happens, we should verify the identity of the empress. If the empress and the villain are replaced, we will be a joke if the news gets out!"
Minister Mo: "We should be careful about this matter. If it is discovered by Nanyue, then Yongchang will inevitably be laughed at."
There was a lot of noise for a while, and just when everyone thought the situation was about to get out of control, Wen Shengxian was not panicked at all, and slowly said: "Everyone, please be patient, this Queen Mother... I haven't finished what I want to say yet! Bring her up!"
After saying that, he waved his hand gently, and then he heard a burst of orderly footsteps coming from outside the hall.
Soon, more than a dozen guards in armor and holding weapons filed in and quickly filled both sides of the hall. They were all majestic and had sharp eyes that made people dare not look directly at them.
With the appearance of this group of guards, the originally tense atmosphere suddenly became more solemn.
The people they escorted up were just two old sisters-in-law, who looked quite old. One of them was Mo Liu's adoptive mother, and the other was a maid who cleaned the courtyard of this fake empress dowager.
"What are you doing?! I don't know them, they are just two old ladies. What can they prove?!"
Wu Zhesi looked at the two men, his heart sank, thinking to himself that they had discovered everything and even brought witnesses! ?
He must deny it, he must not admit it no matter what, he must not admit it!! Even if the plan is discovered, it doesn't matter, he can't just kill people right away, right? !
This was discovered by Li Li. It was not completely useless after asking around in Wu Mansion.
Mo Liu's adoptive mother had a palm-sized burn on her face. She recognized Mo Liu immediately when she saw her. She pointed at her and shouted rudely, "You stupid girl, you thought you could become successful if you were spotted by a rich family and ran away from home? More than a decade ago, your old father died and you didn't even come to see him. You even burned down my house!"
The adoptive mother was originally a washerwoman by the river, and her husband was an ordinary fisherman. She found her biological mother by the river and saved her out of kindness.
But after the woman was picked up and brought home, she actually seduced her husband, and the two had an affair and gave birth to the girl Mo Liu.
She only found out later that her damn husband waited until Mo Liu was born before telling her that Mo Liu's mother had died of complications during childbirth, so her husband brought her back home.
She was furious, but her husband did not tell her the truth at first and lied to her, saying that he picked up the child and brought him home because he felt sorry for him. He only told her the truth before he died.
Later, when she was three years old, someone spotted her and said he would take her away. She thought it would be fine to sell her since she was a bastard anyway.
Unexpectedly, the tragedy began like this. The man actually burned down her house in an attempt to kill her and silence her. Her two children were also killed.
After she survived, she was unwilling to see her two children die, so she secretly found the family. Fortunately, she met them looking for a firewoman, which gave her a chance to sneak in.
She hid like this for more than ten or twenty years, until Yun Xirou and her secret agents found her in the Wu Mansion. They thought about it again and again before they dared to identify her.
"You...you, I have been in the Wu family for more than ten years, and I have done all kinds of inquiries to find a use for that bitch's daughter. I would like to ask you to make a decision for my dead husband and children!?"
After saying this, the woman fell to her knees, covered her face and cried, insisting that it was the Wu family who did it, and begged them to take charge.
"Slander, pure slander. How can we only listen to the words of this old woman?!" Wu Siyan was furious and wanted to kick the woman, but was stopped by the tall and strong attendant behind Wen Shengxian.
“If you don’t believe it, you might as well ask someone to check whether there is a mole one inch behind her thigh!” The woman spoke earnestly, her face flushed, and she waved her hands in the air, looking extremely excited.
"You know, a person's personality may change, some obvious marks may be covered up, and even other minor things may be artificially erased. However, the location of the mole is too private and sensitive!"
At this point, the woman paused for a moment, glanced at the people around her, and then continued, "After all, that is a woman's private part. There are only a few people who can see this place on weekdays. Even if someone really discovers the mole by chance, I'm afraid they won't pay too much attention to it."
Hearing this, Mo Liu was stunned, his body trembled a little, his face flushed and he gritted his teeth in silence, as if he was insulted. He said with all his might, "Where did this woman come from to slander me like this!? And she even used such words, do you really want me to be humiliated by this shameless bitch?!"
The queen mother raised her eyebrows, opened her beautiful eyes, and shouted angrily, "How can you easily talk about a place like that? How dare you humiliate my son in front of so many people? This is really too much!"
As she spoke, she pretended to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, but her slightly trembling hands exposed the true lies in her heart.
And the handkerchief, which was originally as white as snow, was now tightly grasped in her hand, as if she wanted to rub all her dissatisfaction and resentment into this small piece of cloth.
"Oh?! The Queen Mother is very kind to her daughter?! Why don't you listen to what Aunt Wu has to say?! They all have grievances!"
Yun Xirou said coldly with anger in her eyes. This person was just a concubine sister of her mother. She looked like her mother since she was a child and was about the same age as her.
"Second Miss, why do you have to keep pretending? Master... she is also your daughter, how can you bear to treat the eldest girl like that!!"
Madam Wu used to serve the Second Young Lady, the 'Empress Dowager' in front of us, but for only a little over a month. However, the Second Young Lady had a bad temper and always liked to punish the servants, and she was one of them.
Later, she was not liked by the second girl and was sent to the eldest girl's courtyard. After a long time, no one cared about her.
Everyone naturally assumed that she was from the eldest girls' courtyard and that she had served in the inner courtyard.
Later, the empress dowager entered the palace as a concubine. She was not brought in as a dowry and was assigned other tasks, still sweeping the outer courtyard.
The empress dowager gave birth to two sons and one daughter. The younger son came later, and was a precious gift from an old clam. Not long after his birth, the late emperor suddenly passed away, and the eldest daughter lost her husband just after she came out of confinement.
After Emperor Chanwen came to the throne, she thought she could have a good rest, but her son turned out to be confused and did all kinds of ridiculous things. In a fit of anger, she said she wanted to leave Beijing and return home.
How could the Wu family agree to this?! Their daughter was the queen mother, who was so high up in society. How could she return to her hometown and become a nun?! How could they agree to this?!
Ever since the Queen Mother became a nun and worshipped Buddha, they have tried every means to dissuade her, saying that they were persuading her to return to Beijing for the honor of the family, all for the family! ?
As a member of the family, this is what she should do. Tell her not to come back selfishly. She can still bring benefits to the family in Beijing, but if she leaves, she will have nothing.
"I went to visit the eldest lady, but she refused to let me go!? She said that if she taught a child like that... she couldn't go to see His Majesty, so she could only become a nun and pray for the people."
As she spoke, Madam Wu took out the Buddhist scriptures that the Queen Mother had copied by hand. The writing dates were all from the beginning of this year. She threatened to ask, "Since you say you are the Queen Mother, then I would like to ask you, when did I first meet you?"
'Empress Dowager' Of course she couldn't answer. Although she could imitate her elder sister, it was because they had lived together for many years and she knew her many years of experience in the palace.
But how could I, as her younger sister, know what she gave to a maid? ! Not to mention the relevant details? !
"What month and day did you write the Buddhist scripture for me? If I can't remember, was it morning or afternoon when you gave it to me? That should be easier, right? "
Under Madam Wu's continuous questioning, she couldn't stand it at all. With sweat on her forehead, she could only bite the bullet and guess: "In the evening!?"
"Nonsense! It was clearly in the morning when the eldest girl said that she cleaned up the leaves in the temple, and then went back to the main hall to worship the Buddha to get the beads, and then she went back to the meditation room to bring them to me?!"
"If you say so, then it is so!? How can anyone slander me like this?!" The fake queen mother was so shameless that she refused to admit it. What can you do to me? !
"What the Queen Mother said is absolutely right. You said I was fake, so why don't you tell me how you can prove that you are real?!"
Mo Liu over there seemed to have also become smarter, and looked at Yun Xirou with contempt and provocation, his eyes clearly saying that you are also unable to prove your identity.
"Haha!? How dare you say such arrogant things! Do you really think that the Imperial Master is blind? Not only are his eyes blind, but his heart is also blind?!"
Yun Xirou's face was full of disdain, with a sneer of extreme contempt hanging on the corner of her mouth, and her eyes were as straight as torches shooting straight at Mo Liu opposite her.
"Humph, you are such an imposter, yet you have the guts to pretend to be me! If that's the case, then do you have the guts to accept the test set by the Imperial Master in person and confront me openly through your studies?!"
At this moment, Yun Xirou exuded a powerful and confident aura, as if the whole world revolved around her.
However, looking at Mo Liu, after hearing Yun Xirou's sharp words, the courage he had originally mustered disappeared without a trace in an instant.
"Who knows if you guys will...will you collude with each other?! Who knows if you guys can team up and leak the questions?!"
Her face turned pale, her body trembled uncontrollably, and her eyes were filled with fear and panic.
"..." Everyone was stunned when they heard this. She didn't even dare to confront him. Was she really not as good as she was before?
The Imperial Master is cheating?! It's a joke. Who doesn't know that the Imperial Master is always fair?!
Once during an imperial examination, he was one of the chief examiners. As in previous years, someone went to Wen's house to ask for advice and tried to steal the questions.
Unexpectedly, Wen Shengxian beat him out directly. The man made a fuss five times and three times. Later, he was handed over directly to the Ministry of Justice.
It was still early in the year, and the matter alarmed the late emperor, who even ordered a reform of the imperial examination system. Although this matter happened a long time ago, the empress would certainly be aware of it.
"How ridiculous! The Imperial Master never lies! Come, take them down for me!"
